Скачать или смотреть GI Minamiaizu Sake

Minamiaizu Town is home to four sake breweries, each crafting its own distinctive local sake. In August 2024, Minamiaizu received GI (Geographical Indication) designation for its sake, marking the 17th such designation in Japan and the first ever in Fukushima Prefecture. Remarkably, this is also the first time in Japan that a small municipality or single town has been granted this designation.
The sake from each brewery, brewed with Minamiaizu’s rich natural environment and unique terroir, has garnered prestigious awards both domestically and internationally.

“A Fruity Aroma and Flavor with a Refreshing Finish “
The junmai sake from Minamiaizu is characterized by its soft and smooth mouthfeel, complemented by a gentle sweetness derived from rice. The unique water quality and brewing environment of Minamiaizu, shaped by its heavy snowfall, enhance the fruity characteristics of the yeast. The sake finishes with a clean and refreshing aftertaste.
The color ranges from clear to a pale golden hue.
In particular, junmai daiginjo and junmai ginjo sake offer a refined sweetness that gently spreads across the palate when sipped. They also feature a refreshing aroma reminiscent of fruits like apples and melons. The harmony of sweetness and aroma creates a clean and elegant finish that lingers pleasantly.
